But they've got a new sofa. And table that looks like a tyre.

And a credible car for Laps. With no water splash :-)
They also have a Countach and an S3 Esprit in the set background ;)
Countach QV and Testarossa on display both belong to Harry Metcalfe - founder of evo magazine. Esprit owner unknown at this point. :)

Indeed, and if you don't watch Harry's Garage, you're missing out.

Not as good as Clarkson et al in their prime but better than Top Gear of the last 4/5 years and better than the Grand Tour.

Hopefully the rest of the series is as strong as the first two episodes.

Just watched Sunday's TG, have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of Harris, always have been and he's just lighting up the show. He is a petrol head personified. Miles better than Amazon stuff.

Caught the last half hour last night and it appears to have found it feet. Enjoyed it. They are doing there own thing and it works so much better.

Loving the new series.... the three of them really seem to be bonding now and all clearly love what they're doing.

More of this please!

Agree with comments above 2nd episode was great TV and a proper car show with a degree of cocking about to keep it interesting rather than cocking about that coincidentally involved cars :thumbsup

I lost interest half way through episode 1. The revised SIARPC bit (the weakest part of the previous version) is now even longer and even more tedious.

I recorded episode 2 and watched it last night skipping through the crap. It has the makings of being something good, I do like Matt Le Blanc, though I do wish he would be Matt Le Blanc and not Joey from Friends.

The supercars Vegas roadtrip was by far the best film the reincarnated TG has produced.
